A member asked:
Two weeks ago our steel double garage door fell on my foot. initially it was extremely painful, but i could still walk. it went blue and purple and then it went away. it only hurts with touch and is still swollen. could it be broken?

Could be,: a stress fracture, an x-ray would tell, usually heals on it's own, takes time though, you want to rest it as much as you can, avoid putting much weight/stress on that foot, and see your doctor, best wishes
